The city will celebrate Columbus Day on Sunday with a giant parade in South Philadelphia. This year's grand marshal is Hollywood actress Connie Stevens (born Concetta Rosalie Anna Ingoglia).
The parade, which celebrates Italian culture and traditions, will start from Broad and Reed Streets at 12:15 p.m. and proceed south on Broad to Oregon Avenue and Marconi Plaza, where the Italian Festival will be held. Local streets will be closed during that time.
